An Alumni Meet is a gathering of graduates of an institution and it is a moment when the institution feels proud of seeing its successful alumni. During the meet, the alumni community shares the experiences they have gathered in the outside world since the day they stepped out of the institution. Through such meetings, alumni can recommend programs to prospective students, connect current students to job opportunities, and contribute significantly to building an institution’s legacy.
